What We've Achieved

In 2012 The Boundary District Arts Council BDAC honored CLAAS for its outstanding

contributions to The Arts in The Boundary Region. The same year we were nominated by KAST

(Kootenay Association For Science & Technology) for top innovative organization; we were thrilled

to be among the top four finalists. CLAAS did attain a Top Innovative Community Organization

Award from Community Futures.
